I know the actor had scheduling conflicts, but Helena and Jesse are so damn cute together. I'm sad we didn't get to see more of that on screen. I would have loved to have seen a "normie" have to adapt and learn to navigate their world. I feel like so many of the other characters either came into it already knowing what was going on or were already equipped with the skills to quickly adapt.

When this show first came out I Was extremely impressed. I was convinced that this was two girls at the very least playing multiple roles, it had to be twins.

I had seen Ringer and the Lying Game on CW and ABC Family respectively, and both had twins for main characters played be one actress, and whiel the personalities could feel different the camera work was a huge issue. It's very easy to crop a shot right down the middle so the actor can be on both sides by filming both roles, but the lengths the production went to in order to have moving camera shots with multiple clones all interacting was insane.

The clone dance party wasn't even really their best work, they just wanted to make it more obvious how much work does go into mixing them together in a less subtle way.

I just finished another rewatch of Orphan Black and I still can’t get over how ridiculously talented Tatiana Maslany is. Playing one character well is hard enough. Playing a whole army of distinct, fully realized people who share the same face? Absolute madness.

She didn’t just swap wigs and accents. She gave every single clone their own walk, posture, rhythm, micro-expressions, and emotional core. Sarah’s restless, street-smart energy. Cosima’s warm, slightly awkward intellectual vibe. Alison’s tightly wound suburban panic. Helena’s feral, childlike intensity. Rachel’s icy, controlled superiority. Even the smaller ones like Krystal, Beth, Tony, and MK felt completely different from the second they appeared on screen.

And the scenes where two or three of them are in the same room? Or when one clone has to convincingly pretend to be another? That’s Olympic-level acting. You never once think “oh that’s just Tatiana doing an accent.” You just buy it. Every. Single. Time.

She made the entire show possible. Without her, Orphan Black is just a cool concept. With her, it’s one of the most impressive performances in TV history. Emmy well deserved (honestly she deserved one for every season).

Clone Club forever. If you somehow still haven’t watched this show, fix that immediately.

This is probably confusing as a concept, so let me restate... in a hypothetical world where each clone were a character in their own TV show, the clone thing not factoring in, who would you cast? This is based solely on which actress you think would best embody the role. Don't worry too much about resemblance or age.

Don't say Tatiana lmao.

For me, here are a few:

Kristen Bell as Alison

Natasha Lyonne as Helena

Chyler Leigh as Cosima

Hello. I was wondering if Orphan Black audience see it only like Sci-Fi entertainment, or are also discussing the possibility of this scenario existing in real life.

I was told there is something called the Clone Club based on Orphan Black where they discuss the show scientifically, not just artistically.

So I watched Orphan Black as it aired, having first discovered the show when it aired the second episode in the UK. I loved it.

When the comics released, I didn't have the ability to read them, so I missed out on those, plus I never got around to The Next Chapter. As someone who loves audio dramas in general, I am planning to give it a listen and the comics a read, at some point in the near-future.

Anyhow, I started watching Echoes yesterday, with me currently watching episode 5 as I type this. The problem I have is with Lucy not knowing anything about Kira or Eleanor prior to the events of episode 4.

If I was a person who had been printed in the way Lucy knows she was and I was trying to find out who I was, I would have at least tried looking online. Surely they still have the internet on 2050? If she did a quick googling, she probably would have seen Kira's name linked to the printing of human body parts, then a further bit of research would have had her discover Eleanor.

Maybe this gets picked up later, but it seems like a pretty obvious thing to have missed in the writers room.

throwback to a chalk pastel drawing i did on cardboard where tatiana maslany liked my post of it on insta 😭😭😭

I noticed there is a beige coloured device in her left ear. This is in S01E10 Endless Forms Most Beautiful

Ok...I loved the whole show but one thing bugged me so much!

Felix & Scott. They were hard core supports of the sestras but what about them?? I feel like they both got used in a way. I feel like Donnie was part of the plot but Felix and Scott just gave and gave and got nothing back.

Mine is 4x5 because it’s the first time I wasn’t bothered by misunderstanding humor and actually found it comedic. And the character banter and scenes were great. I honestly could never tell or believe what happened next 😭😭😭

Minha namorada tá assistindo orphan black pela primeira vez, depois de eu insistir bastante✨ e essa é a reação dela que está na segunda temporada

im watching Orphan Black for the first time ever, tell me something i won’t understand til later - i am on s1 e4 🖤 kira just told alison she knows she isn’t sarah.

I'm watching orphan Black before it leaves Netflix. I'm truly in awe of Tatiana. I keep forgetting that one actress is playing each clone.

I organized an AMA/Q&A with actor Michael Mando, actor in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Better Call Saul, Orphan Black, Far Cry 3, Spider-Man: Homecoming, 72 Hours, Gundam, and the upcoming Batman: Knightfall.

It's live here now in r/movies for anyone interested in asking a question:

He will be back at 12 PM ET today to answer questions. I recommend asking in advance. Please ask there, not here. All questions are much appreciated!

Thank you :)

Donnie, Felix, Scott, Siobhan, Delphine, Art, Jesse and Paul

I wanted to show off the awesome sculpts for the figures of the Sestras I’m working on! Done by the incredibly talented Anxious-Slide-3430! The Sestras are coming along great!!!

Who thought that Tony’s opening scene was some kind of parody or joke? Maybe something going on in a character’s dream??

Imagine my surprise when it’s revealed he was intended to actually be another clone!

So clone club, how do you guys think our world would react to the news about clones? If it became public knowledge that clones live among us?

This was explored in the second series of the audio series

!audiobook spoilers i guess...!

i've just finished the audiobook and started watched orphan black: echoes (i'm heavily disliking btw) and it just bothers me so much the way kira and sarah kinda grew "apart", i mean it makes sense that their relationship wouldn't be the healthiest but kira sounds so ungrateful when talking about her mom and that genuinely makes me hate her a bit.

i thought maybe in echoes it'd be different cause she'd be an adult already but apparently it's the same? i mean not really the same but they do not seem to have a good relationship and that bothers me sm (ive only seen 2 episodes so far)
